Psychologically, MSFT can’t let Sony win another month, nor can it be a “close race”. GTA IV is coming up and this title will likely be one of the biggest hardware drivers in the first half of 2008. Whichever system has the stronger momentum going into April will be in better position to for the GTA release.
Although I cannot go too much into detail, but every hardware manufacturer have scenarios for when to drop the price of their consoles. And my “personal opinion” is that MSFT will make some type of price/hardware/bundling (pick one) move if they feel that they cannot fend off Sony in April.
